Gaza rescuers working ‘tirelessly’ to retrieve injured
Until now, emergency teams are working tirelessly to search for survivors and any sign of life under destroyed houses in Nuseirat. They have managed to recover some of those injured and transport them to Al-Aqsa Hospital to receive medical treatment … but it is certainly a very hard mission for them.
The situation is deteriorating on an hourly basis, as there is no letup in air strikes. One of the latest targeted a group of Palestinians close to Wadi Gaza, where at least three were reported killed.
Residents in central Gaza have appealed to civil defence crews to keep operating there and to even try to get to locations of bombardment to rescue the injured.
However, they are suffering from a shortage of equipment that is essential to rescue people from under the rubble of destroyed houses.
Gaza’s Health Ministry warns over spread of diseases, epidemics
This is the result of sewage overflows, the piling up of waste in streets and camps for displaced people and the spread of insects in the besieged Strip, according to the ministry. Amid rising temperatures, such a mix of elements threatens a “health disaster,” the ministry said.
“We appeal to all concerned, international and humanitarian institutions to intervene quickly,” it added.
